Bertrand Dezoteux

Under the hummer
From 15/02/2018 to 22/02/2018
Bertrand Dezoteux describes himself as “an amateur anthropologist, an observer of life in virtual worlds.” From his “3D nature documentary” (Le Corso, 2008) to an “animated film of non-realist puppets” (En Attendant Mars, 2015) and an “essay on the mythologies of French modernity” (L’Histoire de France en 3D, 2012), amongst others, Dezoteux has worked with video to explore computer technology and cultural references, becoming in the process a master in the arts of assemblage and digital bricolage. Between entertainment and uncertainty, odes to science and intentional clumsiness, the artist creates complex visual objects through his use of multiple forms and knowledges.
 
Invited to create a work for the season “Discordia, Daughter of the Night”, Bertrand Dezoteux transforms the façade of Palais de Tokyo into a shifting territory using video mapping techniques (projection of visual content specifically designed for monumental, 3D structures). With this original project, we climb aboard a Hummer to cross a desert landscape inhabited by characters who parade along the roadside. The artist navigates between disturbance and derision, creating a world in which we may no longer have a place. As soon as night falls, the façade of Palais de Tokyo comes alive, with its entrance transformed into a vortex that visitors are invited to enter to disappear into the image, beneath the Hummer.
